It could be the idling stabiliser which modifies the hall sender signal. Disconnect it and plug the wires together.

Try the wiggle test...run engine and wiggle wires in engine bay...if cuts out could well be a loose connection or broken wire 
Mmm what's that strange smell from my exhaust...

If it fails you loose the spark, so you will have to try running without it to check.
